Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TIZ A MASTER) (5-1) - Price play is facing winners after a sharp maiden win going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 7 at Los Alamitos Race Course. The filly has a versatile style, a quick work here Dec. 26, and I think she'll be competitive in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Diosa) (7-2) - The main speed, she's been freshened up since finishing a pace-setting 2nd here going 6.5 furlongs facing similar types Nov. 2. Both local starts have been sharp, and trainer Mike Pender gives her a rider upgrade to Raf Bejarano.
3rd pick: #7 (Kate's Princess) (4-1) - Home bred was an easy gate-to-wire maiden winner going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 2 at Del Mar. She had come from 'off the pace' to run 3rd in her debut there Nov. 9, and that versatility is a plus in a young horse. She must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Divine Dharma) (3-1) - She was an easy maiden winner going a mile here Oct. 26, but tired after having some traffic issues in her follow up at the same distance Nov. 30 at Del Mar. Back sprinting, she's a threat today, but may be over-bet a bit.
